This year's edition features a new wrinkle. No, not a Shar Pei (that's a dog joke), but the ability to draft your own fantasy Puppy Bowl team. You get three players, and the scoring works thus:

5 points for a score2 points for a tackle2 points for a takeaway-2 points for a penalty (usually peeing)

That's my team up there. I went with Ginger because she's part Sheepdog, and her herding instincts project well for the Puppy Bowl's end-to-end action. Delachaise is a Pit Bull mix, so you have to figure he won't be afraid to get in there and tussle. And Sparky's a scraggly, adorable mess—the Danny Woodhead of puppies.
